Five Health Foods for Women
Most women out there are focused on the health and well being of their families and many times don’t make it a priority to take care of themselves. I hear many excuses and women tend to say they are too busy working, or taking care of the house and the family to think about preventative […]
New Year – New Goal – Just One Word
Happy New Year to all. As with every new year, we all have resolutions that we plan on achieving for the upcoming year. When it comes to our health, many of us have goals to exercise more, start eating healthier, giving up soda, drinking more water, maybe even run a 5K , marathon or triatholon. […]
The Real Bears – A Source of Health and Happiness
Many of us have seen commercials advertising the Coca Cola Bears. They are cute and meant to entice us to dance around and enjoy life. If we consume those sugary soda drinks, which so many of us crave, we are led to believe life will be much more enjoyable. During the holidays, we will be […]
Food for Thought during the Holidays

Trick or Treat – Are parents being fooled?
One of the things I have recently learned is that many of our “Favorite Chocolates” are made with fake or imitation vanilla, (known as vanillin) which contain synthetic flavors and toxic chemicals.
